OUR TEAM
Cazador Holland -
Cazador was a lifelong friend of Phillip’s and the two grew up side-by-side in Powell River, B.C and eventually moved to Vancouver.
Cazador’s love of the culinary arts and entrepreneurial spirit led him to open the very successful La Casita restaurant in Gastown, Vancouver, as well as many other successful restaurants in the area.
As the co-founder of Green Room, his business skills and tact were the vehicles that made it possible to so precisely execute the vision of Green Room. Cazador’s ambition brought the company from a local Vancouver dispensary to a nationwide chain.
While he continues to be a restaurateur, Cazador’s passion for the cannabis industry in all forms is his driving factor now.
Frederick Pels -
Frederick was introduced to Green Room by Phillip and Cazador because of his entrepreneurial skills, drive, and contacts in the business community, both in Alberta and nationwide. His background is in finance and he is also a serial entrepreneur.
Frederick’s respect for the cannabis industry stems from both an entrepreneurial standpoint and a personal one. The former comes from seeing a product that people have wanted and yet have had zero access to, and to which other providers, including the government, have had poor supply. This was a product that not only people wanted, but many needed, including Fredrick’s father.
His father had been suffering from aches and pains for the majority of his adult life, but developed sciatica and was crippled by the pain. He was prescribed Percocet, among other opioid painkillers, yet still suffered vastly. Since starting cannabis therapy, he is now completely off all other pain medications. His pain became manageable and his attitude and overall outlook on life is incredible. It is notable that he had never smoked cannabis before in his entire life, having his first experience at age 70!
After seeing the change in his father, Frederick’s respect for the cannabis industry intensified, and his drive to make it successful increased one hundred-fold.
Marc Lowenstein -
It was Marc’s concept that lit the fire for Green Room. He wanted it to be a safe, pharmaceutical atmosphere where people of all walks, shapes, colours, and conditions could feel comfortable getting the information and products they wanted and needed.
Marc currently practices law in Calgary, AB and completed his law degree at Bond University in Australia. Before law school, Marc spent more than 10 years in the construction industry in various positions ranging from a labourer, foreman and superintendent to project engineer for a large heavy civil construction company.
Marc has also worked as a National Construction Safety Officer and consultant where he built, implemented and supervised health and safety programs for companies in the construction industry.
